Sun Cluster 3.0 - did devices

Dear all,

I have the following problem on SunCluster 3.0. The nodes are 2 x V880 running Solaris8.0 10/00.

The shared array is a third part, and both the nodes are correctly seeing the shared disk by 'format' command.

I'm reinstalling the cluster from scratch: I installed the packages, run the scinstall on node1 and added node2.

Just before to run the scsetup to set the quorum and exit the "install mode" status I checked the the did devices to chose the shared d*: unfortunately only node1 was linking the shared disks to a did device.

This is the output of scdidadm -L

1 node1:/dev/rdsk/c0t6d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d1 -> cdrom

2 node1:/dev/rdsk/c1t4d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d2 |

3 node1:/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d3 |

4 node1:/dev/rdsk/c1t3d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d4 | Local Disks on node1

5 node1:/dev/rdsk/c1t5d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d5 |

6 node1:/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d6 |

7 node1:/dev/rdsk/c1t2d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d7 |

8 node1:/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d8 ==> Shared Disk

15 node2:/dev/rdsk/c0t6d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d15 -> cdrom

16 node2:/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d16 |

17 node2:/dev/rdsk/c1t3d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d17 |

18 node2:/dev/rdsk/c1t5d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d18 | Local Disks on node2

19 node2:/dev/rdsk/c1t4d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d19 |

20 node2:/dev/rdsk/c1t2d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d20 |

21 node2:/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d21 |

Another important thing is the scsi-initiator id has been modified:

node1: scsi-initiator-id=8

node2: scsi-initiator-id=7

This what I tried:

a) remove/ remap the device on both the node with:

cfgadm -c unconfigure c2

devfsadm -C

scdidadm -C

cfgadm -c configure c2

scdidadm -r

devfsadm

reboot -- -r

after then only node2 has the link :

8 node2:/dev/rdsk/c2t0d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d8

b) change the entry on

/etc/cluster/ccr/did_instances

and reset the checksum: unsuccesfully

( the file is recreated after the reboot: no really cleaver trick)

Do you have any better idea?

Many Thanks

Matt

FYI: initiator ids 6 and 7 are usually the preferred option.You didn't run scgdevs. That might fix the problem. Was it working before and now it's broken?Tim
